Henry and Rupert Stansall are the Ruen Brothers, the
alternative rock duo from England that is about to break through to the
mainstream. The pair has already written tunes with The Weeknd, brainstormed
with Lana Del Rey, and teamed up with famed producer Rick Rubin. The Ruen
Brother recently released a new single, “Genevieve, Come Out Tonight,” which
features Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers on the drums. (Smith played
with the duo on this track at Bonnaroo to the surprise of many.) During this
Bonnaroo interview, the duo talks about its residency at the McKittrick Hotel
in NYC, the art of collaboration, and much more. Follow this band’s trajectory
for so much more.
